🏬 JOULE, THE B2B BICYCLE PARTNER
B2B bicycle partner? We implement bicycle plans for companies and public institutions. Such a plan can consist of bicycle leasing, purchase and/or maintenance. The bicycles are used for commuting by employees (salary bicycles) or for business activities (cargo bicycles, pool bicycles). We draw up the plan and also execute it operationally from concept over order to maintenance. We do this with a very customer-oriented framework, full of energy.
Joule was founded in 2018 and has been doubling annually in size ever since. At the beginning of 2022, Lab Box, D'Ieteren 's start-up studio, and insurance company P&V invested in Joule, so that we can now shift up a gear.
Our values (yes we have some):
- Stakeholder Intimacy : we like to work sustainably with our customers, colleagues, partnersand suppliers
- Fun but functional : if it's useful, we'll make it fun
- Transparency
